“I am interested in buying this to replace an older hybrid system (wireless and hardwired), but I am concerned about the range of the ADT/Samsung wireless devices. Is there a range extender that can be used? I currently have a Samsung Smart Things hub.”

Yes, there are range extenders. Also, zwave creates a mesh network so assuming there aren't too many hops, putting devices (plugs/etc.) every 50ft or less should help. Since most Z-Wave Plus repeaters are around $30, you're better off just buying another SmartThings plug and making something else "smart".
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The ADT/Samsung Smartthing uses Z-Wave & also Zigbee signal. Z-Wave and Zigbee devices create a mesh network, so the more devices you have the stronger the network. If you don't have a lot of devices, you can always purchase a Z-Wave or Zigbee extender.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would not recommend the Chime Pro device. It's a uni-tasker, and doesn't perform well in that one function at all. Use a standard network range extender instead.
